New ‘dirty soda’ shop Swig in the works in Overland Park — Here’s when more are coming

With one northeast Johnson County location already in the works, a Utah-based “dirty soda” chain is also heading south.

Construction has begun on a new Swig location in southern Overland Park. Meanwhile, Swig is opening a new shop off 91st and Metcalf as well as a new, highly anticipated Mission shop this summer.

Swig is coming to 135th and Quivira

  • The brand is bringing a new drive-thru soda shop to the northeast corner of 135th Street and Quivira Road.
  • There, Swig will operate near McDonald’s and Starbucks.
  • Jeremy Assmus, local franchisee of the Utah-based chain for all Kansas City area locations so far, estimated the new shop will open at the end of July.

Swig serves flavored “dirty” sodas

  • The brand is primarily known for its “dirty” sodas, or flavored sodas with various creams and syrups.
  • Some of the flavor combinations on its menu include the “spring fling” (Dr Pepper, vanilla, strawberry puree and coconut cream) and the “Big Al” (Diet Coke, coconut and lime).
  • In addition to its sodas, Swig also offers other drinks like “Revivers” (flavored energy drinks), “Refreshers” (flavored waters) and flavored hot chocolate.

More locations are coming to Johnson County

  • Further north, another new Swig location — technically Johnson County’s first — is currently scheduled to open in early June in Mission.
  • A third Johnson County location for Swig is in the works off 91st Street and Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, which is currently scheduled to open in August.
  • Across the state line, three Swig locations have already opened on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro area — in Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, and Kansas City, Missouri.
